I’m not in the US but have been using rice cookers my whole life. The single lever type tends to boil over. I currently have a fuzzy logic type of rice cooker which works well and has multiple functions. Not sure what a mid range budget for you looks like but looking on Amazon if you are only going to use it for rice and maybe steaming something this looks promising.
The one I have is not available where you are but it would be similar to this
I’m only looking at amazon and only Tiger and Zojirushi looks similar to rice cookers we have here in my country where everyone has a rice cooker. But they seem to be much more expensive in the US. They are definitely easier to use and produces better rice than the single lever type of rice cooker in my experience.
